Don't bother unless you bring your own EVERYTHING
Reviewed By StephLamVanBWe should have read the reviews. My husband had good memories from his youth of Glenview Cottages so we make the booking, for a late January "get away", based on his 30 year old memories. Based on pictures of the Mini Suite Cottage we DID bring our own folding table and chairs and we were glad we did. We wished we'd also brought our own towels, cloths, and coffee maker. The room ended up having a table and two chairs but as we began to set the table for a board game we discovered that the wall was keeping the table and one chair propped. One leg fell off the table and one chair fell apart as we pulled it out from the table. We called the front desk immediately so they wouldn't thing we had broken the furniture. The clerk offered no apology nor a replacement set. We hauled our folding pieces from the vehicle. The bathroom had 2 bath towels and two hand towels. No wash cloths. The kitchen had no dishcloths or tea towels. The microwave had not been cleaned since the last guest and had A LOT of food splatter insde. The coffee pot had not been cleaned since the last guest and had a dried out filter pac in the basket (ew) and the pot had dried out coffee in the bottom. There was a sign above the kitchen sinking "Warning" that if we didn't do our dishes we'd be charged a fee. Well, I did the dishes with a hand towel and laid them to dry on some cardboard we happened to have in our vehicle. I left a note explaining that if they wanted us to do the dishes they should provide the tools to do that. As we were preparing to leave I decided to write a list of all the things that were broken or missing. I am NOT the type of person that would typically do this, and explained this to the young man who checked us out, but there were just SO many things that were unacceptable I had to. The young clerk took my list, again offering no apology or compensation. I might have expected that the desk staff would be authorized to offer, if not a rebate, a credit for a future stay. A kind gesture that could mean they'd try to do better next time. I would have gladly booked again to give them a second try. But, unfortunately, I will not give them a second try now. I will say that if the necessary amenities had been provided and/or were clean I would have enjoyed the cottage itself much more. The cottage was clean enough and was quietly located in the centre of the property. The January snow coverage helped with sound absorbtion too. It was a beautiful spot and we did feel like we were on a holiday (except for washing dishes LOL).

Great fishing trip
Reviewed By stevehA7651HNGreat place to have a clean warm cabin, rent a boat and catch fish in a beautiful lake. I highly recommend it. Staff are friendly and the scenery is relaxing. I hope to return many times in the years to come

We offer several fantastic family-friendly activities including a swimming pool, fantastic kids club, and an 18 hole Championship Golf course, which is excellent for all skill levels; with the tee blocks positioned to suit both the novice and scratch handicapper.
Not great
Reviewed By jack bCourse was OK. Traps were unplayable because of weeds, rocks and no rakes. Cart paths needed attention. No ball washers. Our Stay & Play package was supposed to include unlimited golf, but this was not the case. You could only book extra golf after you finished your first round, and only if there were any openings available. Trailer was in new phase with construction ongoing. Dump trucks, excavators, back up horns and lots of dust all day long. Bathroom was filthy, deck and lawn chairs were covered in dust and we had to clean them everyday if we wanted to use them.
4. Tobermory Inn & Suites
Overall Ratings
1.5 based on 61 reviews
Welcome to Tobermory Inn & Suites. We are under new management and are looking forward to providing you with a great stay! We provide no-frills, self-catered accommodations in our hotel rooms. All hotel rooms are on the second floor (with no elevator) and a great place to watch the MS Chi-Cheemaun pulling it from your private deck.
Not great ...
Reviewed By 264elkepThis resort should not be providing accommodations at this point. It might have been a great place many years ago, but it is presently a construction site. Our room was bare, and the shower did not work. The bedsheets looked cheap and came off the bed very easily. The location is good as everything is within walking distance. If someone invests a lot of money and fixes this place up, it might be a great location in the future, but presently it is pretty bad.

DO NOT BOOK THIS LODGE - SHADY
Reviewed By JohnathanSeedDO NOT BOOK. The owner Richard was extremely disrespectful and intrusive. He charged us for more nights than we stayed and then when confronted about it, he lied stating that we had caused property damage. Completely unacceptable for an owner to act like this. Not a very welcoming and or comfortable place to stay unless you like random animal bones around the house, clumps of mold in the fridge and bathroom, and a lying owner with abrasive staff. Ruined our family trip.

Goede uitval basis voor Algonquin park
Reviewed By astridwilliameEen mobilhome, maar de kruken en tafel zijn ongeveer alles wat je krijgt meer dan jn een standaard motel. Wij zijn kleind fijne mensen, en maar gelukkig ook want een bed van 130m is echt veel te kkein. Er zijn geen verduisterende gordijnen, je wordt dus wakker wanneer de zon op komt, en in augustus is dit veel te vroeg. De prijs - kwaliteit verhouding us zeer slecht. Er is geen tv, en wifi werkt niet.

Always good
Reviewed By K111IIgregsWe have been going to Colonial Bay for many years (20?) and always have a great family vacation. The swimming, fishing and water sports are kid-friendly and fun. The property is perfect for soccer or frisbee or reclining in a chair. The cottages are simple and clean and cozy, with a bbq and deck out front. The owners are friendly and attentive. Can’t wait till next year.
